Dale Ahlquist - President American Chesterton Society

On Friday 1 November 2024, we were blessed to present for this year’s Hartford Symposium, Dale Ahlquist, President, American Chesterton Society.

Mr Ahlquist, on a flying visit from Minneapolis in the State of Minnesota, delivered an entertaining, thought-provoking and inspiring speech, touching on the complex and critical challenges in modern education.

An enthusiastic audience of over 100 people was in attendance. Dale’s speech was followed by a range of incisive questions from the audience.

Ahlquist’s experience in high school education draws from the writings of G.K. Chesterton, classical authors and the growth of the Chesterton Schools Network, now numbering over 60 schools.

We invite you to watch the presentation in the video below.

As an educator, I'm always excited when parents engage with the schooling of their children. Research suggests parental interest in education is one of the best predictors of learning success in children.

The Hartford College initiative is an exciting example of parental collaboration and commitment to educational excellence. It deserves to flourish and all the more so given that character development and faith advancement lie at the centre of its educational offering. I wish Hartford College every success.

It is becoming increasingly evident that the liberal arts are the best preparation for a child’s life, no matter what challenges he may face in the future. Hartford boys will emerge from their education knowing their cultural roots and having developed imaginative ways to address problems and issues in contemporary society. The education promises to be as rich and engaging as it is rigorous and sound. The College will contribute generations of virtuous young men capable of transforming the world in their daily Christian lives.

I am genuinely interested in Hartford College as a place in which real and high-quality investment is made in the pastoral, mental and physical development of Australian boys, and I sincerely believe it is needed. Our children, and particularly our boys, are unquestionably the victims of the ‘culture wars‘ that now rage in our society, and the raw statistics confirm the price they are paying.

The levels of anxiety, depression and self-harm amongst our young people are unprecedented and worrying. It is beyond important that every effort is made to nurture the men of tomorrow, for their sakes and the very future of our cherished freedoms in this land of opportunity.

Are you passionate about educating greatness?

We’re currently looking to employ teachers of the highest calibre to join us in our mission to educate young men in mind, character and faith.
